Ecstatic Dance is a journey of sound + movement for healing, celebration and communion. We begin with a circle to set the guidelines of the container and initiate a 90-minute journey through sound and movement. Some guidelines include no-talking, staying for the duration, releasing judgement of self and others, and being in your own journey. There is no guidance aside from your inner world. Follow You.

This is a substance-free event; let the music + the dance be thy medicine~

Arrive at least 30-minutes before circle if you would like tea, cacao, or other beverages. An altar will be formed in the space, so please feel free to bring an item you would like to be charged in the energy of the dance!

See you at the HOUSE

This month we will be tasting...

🍂 Double Fermented Chocolate Water

This is a wonderfully confusing tea that I'm excited to share. What does double fermented mean? Good question, I honestly don't know in this case. It's a dark ball rolled Taiwanese oolong that has a character a lot like a shu pu'er. It's both rich and refreshing with an undeniable note of tootsie rolls. A perfect February offering.

🍊Lady Hadong Stuffed Tangerine

I'm probably most excited for this tea, which I will be trying for the first time with everyone. This is a hollowed out tangerine stuffed with a Korean black tea, two kinds of milk oolong and, if that wasn't enough, dried apricots. The dry tea smells like a pineapple upside down cake. What more do I need to say?

🍂 Korean Aged Tteokcha

Balancing out all the sweet options this month is a very unusual heicha from Korea. Made a lot like a puer, this tea is harvested mid/late spring, steamed, pounded in a mortar and millstone, shaped into lumps, dried and finally fermented, usually for six months or more before being drunk. The result is a savory soup that I can only describe as pasta fagioli. It reminds me of a sticky rice sheng but with a distinct white bean soup vibe.

🍂 Marshmallow Shu

I don't usually reach for ripe puers, and since carrying the vanilla bean dream machine I haven't really been looking. But I've had my eye on this one for a while. It's an extremely "keefy" shu that looks old without feeling old. It lives up to its name with a very soft and fluffy mouthfeel that reminds me of marshmallow root tea. It's buttery without being to funky, it's earthy without having too much rotten stump aroma and, all in all,very satisfying.

See you Soon~ 🍵
